What it does
Provides three core resource types: subscriptions (create, list, get, delete, patch, reactivate), operations (poll long-running tasks), and message/task streaming for real-time event delivery
Includes helper commands for subscribing to Workspace events as NDJSON streams and renewing suspended subscriptions
Requires Google Workspace authentication and the gws binary; use gws schema to inspect method parameters
Installation Guide
How to use gws-events on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
- ›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with
node --version - ›Active project directory where you want to add
gws-events
Run the install command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches gws-events from googleworkspace/cli and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate gws-events. Access via /gws-events in your agent's command palette.
Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

API Resources
message
stream— SendStreamingMessage is a streaming call that will return a stream of task update events until the Task is in an interrupted or terminal state.
operations
get— Gets the latest state of a long-running operation. Clients can use this method to poll the operation result at intervals as recommended by the API service.
subscriptions
create— Creates a Google Workspace subscription. To learn how to use this method, see Create a Google Workspace subscription.delete— Deletes a Google Workspace subscription. To learn how to use this method, see Delete a Google Workspace subscription.get— Gets details about a Google Workspace subscription. To learn how to use this method, see Get details about a Google Workspace subscription.list— Lists Google Workspace subscriptions. To learn how to use this method, see List Google Workspace subscriptions.patch— Updates or renews a Google Workspace subscription. To learn how to use this method, see Update or renew a Google Workspace subscription.reactivate— Reactivates a suspended Google Workspace subscription. This method resets your subscription'sStatefield toACTIVE. Before you use this method, you must fix the error that suspended the subscription. This method will ignore or reject any subscription that isn't currently in a suspended state. To learn how to use this method, see Reactivate a Google Workspace subscription.
tasks
cancel— Cancel a task from the agent. If supported one should expect no more task updates for the task.get— Get the current state of a task from the agent.subscribe— TaskSubscription is a streaming call that will return a stream of task update events. This attaches the stream to an existing in process task. If the task is complete the stream will return the completed task (like GetTask) and close the stream.pushNotificationConfigs— Operations on the 'pushNotificationConfigs' resource
Discovering Commands
Before calling any API method, inspect it:
# Browse resources and methods
gws events --help
# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema events.<resource>.<method>
Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.

Use Cases
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Steps
- 1Install product management skill
- 2Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
Learning Path
- 1Basic: user stories, feature specs, status updates
- 2Intermediate: competitive analysis, prioritization frameworks, PRDs
- 3Advanced: product strategy, go-to-market planning, OKR setting
- 4Expert: product vision, market positioning, business model innovation
